The oddest spelling of “colourize”, with both a U and a Z

YouTube Music still has this at least

I was under the impression it wasn’t even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though

On Lemmy you can’t exchange email addresses though… else you’d be exposing the addresses publicly and that’s also rife for spam

Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.

Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.

Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.

Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services… the phone does not lock

Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do

Yes, it simply represents the leverage Israel holds over the US.

This is a 1922 map though, not current

So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.

This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they’ll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.

The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you’d said it at the time

I have ad blockers everywhere, except native mobile apps. I’ve clicked on an Instagram ad for shirts. I bought the shirts. People keep complimenting me on the shirts. No regrets there

The AI’s having a hard time deciding what’s inside the bird cage and what isn’t, though it did better than I would’ve expected

Reminds me of my late grandmother’s home. Not the stuffy, weird old people smell kind of place, but nice wood panelling, regal hardwood furniture, patterned wallpaper, trinkets, shells and geodes

I do see it on OnePlus though with all voice apps, including Google assistant. I think OxygenOS is not hiding it

It’s scary how accurate they can predict you with what data they have; they don’t need to tap your microphone.

You’re on a OnePlus; there’s always a status bar icon if the microphone is active.

Think of what led to your conversation? Everything related to it you saw or searched online that could’ve later triggered you to talk about the subject, could also trigger them to serve you ads about it later. Perhaps your friend was the one, and the ad companies have linked you together, ie. by tracking your location and contacts.

And now you’ve noticed the adverts, you’ll notice them much more, where you’d normally ignore them completely. Furthermore, if you noticed these ads, you might’ve clicked them or stopped scrolling and stared at them too long in a wtf moment and now the ad companies know, so they’ll serve you a whole lot more of the same.

Much like the words “fake steak” or “not really steak” wouldn’t confuse me into thinking it was really real steak, just because the word “steak” is in there, “vegan steak” doesn’t either, because I’m not incredibly stupid

I’m very saddened she shows these strong hateful opinions now. The books and films were so much a part of my childhood and I still really enjoy the whole world they’ve created. And watching her earlier interviews, she seemed like a nice, interesting, smart, softly spoken person, with a love for my city. Also through indirect personal relations, she was quite kind to us.
